Added for You - Listen to The Sound of Silence
Let's take a look at the top five mistakes that resale rights marketers make so that you’d learn how to avoid them.1. Number one is when you sell your resell rights products to too many people. This singular act could be so disturbing to your potential customers enough to make them want to avoid investing in your resale rights product. This is especially true for experienced marketers who understand the resell markets well enough.Interestingly, these are the actual people you need on your side. They are the ones with the big list and web presence that can move your products quickly. If you sell the resale rights to too many people, none of them would be able to really make money because every purchaser of your resell rights products would be each other’s competitor.Although the idea of selling as many number of copies of your products as possible sounds very lucrative, it wi
Have you heard of couples who do not talk to each other for days or weeks because one partner had not forgiven the other for something that the other did? They have become board-mates who live in the same house or apartment but do not speak to each other. Their actions toward each other are mechanical and lifeless. Unless the person who is offended forgives the other, the relationship is doomed to die!Unforgiveness affects attitude. It is the result of pride. “You offended me and hurt me and therefore, I will not forgive you”. This kind of attitude is destructive. Unforgiveness past relationships is like drinking poison and expecting the other to die. You are the one affected and so will your children or family or spouse be adversely affected.Being human, we are prone to commit mistakes. We may say or do things that offend our partner. And most of the things we say and do that
One of the downsides of our modern pace of life however is that even in so-called rural areas, noise continues to encroach – from the busy bypass, on the high street, as the train goes by, from planes overhead. Inside the home the situation is the same – round the clock television and radio, electronic toys, mobile phone ring tones, and the sound of washing machines, kettles, vacuum cleaners and extractor fans fill the air.
Undoubtedly these are all benefits of living in a modern, affluent world, and as such their downsides are something to be accepted. But the real downside of modern living isn’t simply the noise generated. Busy, noisy lives full of sensory stimulation leave little time for periods of reflection, introspection and peace. We need the sound of silence, to paraphrase Simon and Garfunkel, to give us space to think, and to draw upon our inner resources.
Our inner resources are both our first and last defence mechanism; it’s no surprise that most organised religions advocate quiet prayer and reflection for connecting with our spiritual selves and with energies, higher powers, call them what you will, to find the answers we need within us.
But how can we find silence within the cacophony of modern living? It’s not always easy, but with a little diligence we can all recreate the conditions for quiet reflection, if not the actual silence. Listed below are ten suggestions.
(1) Breathe!
When everyone is watching TV, find a deserted room upstairs, close your eyes and listen to your breathing. The quiet room merely allows us to concentrate on the only sound – our breaths in and out. Closing our eyes filters out yet another level of distraction and allows us to centre on our breath, and on how it slows down and becomes deeper as we focus on nothing else. Deep breathing is a well-known method for inducing calm and a relaxed, pre-meditative state – both of which are ideal for allowing us to l
Recently I read an article about tipping and it triggered me to elaborate on the subject, because it offers many possibilities.In this view the idea of tipping is compared with performance management. The client is the one who evaluates the performance. And as tipping is often used in restaurants and bars, the client is the customer who is receiving the service.When comparing the tip as an incentive for the performance the first question to answer by the one who is offering the service, or who is evaluating the service is: “how do you do your job?”One. On average. This means that – in a normal distribution - nearly 70 percent of the cases the client receives an average attention. This is nothing more than the average (attention) of all people who serve in restaurants. Should the receiver of the service tip in this case?Two. Below average. Same setting, but the attention

Where Else Can You Shoot a Round From a Former Soviet Bunker in Between Seeing the International Ice Sculpture Festival and Hitting the Clubs with Claudia Schiffer lookalikes?Certainly nowhere in the UK that’s for sure. In Riga, you and your mates can get together and legally re-enact all your favourite Cold war James Bond scenes to your hearts’ content and do it all in safety and style with a vast array of armory to choose from including the legendary Kalashnikovs, commonly known as AK-47s. Latvia is also home to the ‘festival’ where almost every month there is a national day dedicated to almost everything from Baltic Ballet to International Films and, this year, The 8th International Ice Sculpture festival. Be amazed, amused and get your photo taken in front of a lot of random but cool monuments.But What about The Claudia Schiffer Lookalikes? It’s a somewhat min

Too often, when we say we are "taking care of business", we think about the paperwork, the accounting, the inventory, etc... the trivial things that are important to get done in order for our business to run smoothly and efficiently. While necessary, they are not the most important.We need to change our thinking about what "taking care of business" means. We need to make sales in order to have a profitable business, and we know without our customers or consultants, we don't have a business. They are our lifeblood, they are what keeps us moving forward, and meeting their needs should be our primary mission.Without consultants or customers, there are no sales. Without sales, there is no revenue... without revenue, there is no business and we might as well go back and get a j.o.b. It is crucial that we take care of our customers and consultants.

(2) Maximise Bath Time!
When I need time on my own, I book the bathroom, fill the bath with essential oils and turn off the light. I am lucky to have several trees at the bottom of my garden, and with the bathroom window open, the sound of the leaves is very conducive for reflecting. Even if you don’t have trees to listen to, a warm bath with the lights off will allow you time to let your mind wander within as your body relaxes and unwinds - however don’t get too relaxed and fall asleep!
(3) Tune in to the weather
Although we may prefer hot sunny days, nature provides us with a free and varied programme of inspiration and beauty. Wind, the sound of rain and even distant thunderstorms can provide sounds ranging from serenity to raw energy, and allow us to muse on nature, and our place in it.
(4) Put time aside to be alone Now and again I wait until the rest of the house is in bed, then I turn off the lights, find somewhere comfortable to sit (my son’s beanbag is often called upon), I put on some headphones and listen to some (quiet) music or a guided meditation. It helps to let your family know that you’d like some quiet time. If you’re an early bird, the same short routine (10 minutes to half an hour is usually all I need) could be repeated before anyone gets up in the morning.
(5) Listen to your favourite music
Ideally you should wear headphones, and not have the music on too loud. Classical, ambient or world music probably works best, or at least nothing too brash or upbeat: the aim is to refresh and relax, not to have you dancing around the room!
(6) Take a break near water
It doesn’t matter what type of water - the sea, a lake or fountain in t
